4/15 of the 315 members of the book club are male.How many female members are there in the club?
A:84
B:131
C:174
D:231
>>> We have a total of 315 members, out of which 4/15 are male. thus the number of male members out of 315 will be:
+%284%2F15%29%2A315+=+84+ members
Remaining members are female, which are +315+-+84+=+231+ members.
so choice (D) is correct.
and my other question is
A chef prepared five chocolate tortes for a dinner party.The guests consumed 2 5/16 tortes.How many tortes are let?
A:2 11/16
B:3 11/16
C:2 9/16
D:3 9/16
>>> total chocolate tortes prepared = 5.
The guests consumed +2+%2B+5%2F16+ tortes = +37%2F16+ tortes.
so tortes left will be:
+5+-+37%2F16+=+43%2F16+=+2+%2B+11%2F16 tortes.
So choice (A) is correct.
Hope this helps.
